AAC Devices

AAC devices are communication tools that help children who have difficulty using speech to
express themselves. These devices can range from simple buttons and communication boards
to advanced speech-generating tablets and specialised apps.
AAC devices give children a reliable way to communicate their wants, needs, thoughts, and
feelings, while supporting language development and independence. They can be used
alongside speech or as an alternative form of communication.

We support children to use AAC devices for:
 Requesting and making choices
 Building language and vocabulary
 Social interaction and conversation
 Participation at home and school
 Reducing frustration linked to communication difficulties
 Developing confidence and independence
We provide personalised assessment, setup, and ongoing support to ensure the right device is
matched to each child’s individual communication needs.
